Barack Obama wearing a fake mustache makes as much sense as his recent charm offensive to appear being cordial to House and Senate Republicans. Obama has already made it quite clear that he does not think there is a spending problem in Washington, DC, and is not worried about the rapidly growing National Debt. Of course he doesn′t since he has contributed the most to it for any single president! With budget talks under way before the March 27 deadline when the federal government runs out of money, again, and another round of debt limit talks by May, when our line of credit is maxed out, again, all Obama wants is to raise more tax revenue. His immediate problem is that the public is starting to get wise to his tricks after attempts to scare the nation during the sequester negotiations failed when numerous lies told by Obama and his administration were unmasked. Now we have proof from an unnamed White House senior staff member that the charm offensive is a ″joke″ and being orchestrated purely for Media consumption. What next?
On the subject of Obama′s outreach to Republicans, the National Journal reported this week that a senior White House official said, ″This is a joke. We′re wasting the president′s time and hours. I hope you all (the Media) are happy because we′re doing it for you.″ This comes as Obama′s job approval numbers nose-dived after the sequestration spending reductions came and went without any catastrophes. In fact, the only harm done to the American people by the sequester has been at the hands of Obama and his administration. At least 2,000 illegal immigrants, many with violent crime charges against them, were released and the White House tours were suspended. Obama even had the gall to blame the Secret Service for canceling the tours!
Obama began his charm offensive last week when he took a dozen Republican senators out for dinner. This on the same day that Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) was filibustering the confirmation vote for John Brennan to head the CIA. Perhaps that is why it took some 13 hours for the White House to respond to Sen. Paul on the country′s drone war policy?
Whatever the case, Barack Obama should wear a fake mustache, along with a sack cloth and ashes, as an act of contrition for his many lies about sequestration. And for being so blatant in his phony charm offensive to sway House and Senate Republicans in giving him more tax increases and no spending cuts. The only sign of shame we have for Obama is the National Debt Clock, which is approaching $16.7 Trillion dollars.

“Charm Offensive” !?
Whats next ?
“likability full court press”?
“End around approval play”?
Anyway, its defense, not offense.
Damage control baby, damage control.

I think a big, bushy, Stalin mustache would suit our president better, although I realize that commies and fascists sort of meet around the other side of the political spectrum.

Running out of matereal, Andrew.
What exactly was the point of the post, other than painting a mustache (a very strange narrow one at that, hmmm…) on the President?
Not to be “taken in by his charms”?
Don’t accept a dinner invitation from the President?
All of this because some mythical “secret source” says he is merely “playing them”?
By the way:
The deficit is down 50 percent as a share of gross domestic product just since President Bush’s fiscal year 2009 deficit and is falling at the fastest rate since the end of World War II. Yet the Washington debate is about how and where to cut us back into recession. Why?
Congress should just repeal the sequester – we don’t need it. We have 10 years to fix the long-term deficit situation. We should not be stampeded by deficit-scare propaganda and instead take the time to carefully consider the right approach. That way we won’t make the mistakes that Europe is making.
Once again, because it might be hard to register due to the drumbeat of deficit-scare propaganda, this is a fact: the deficit is falling at the fastest rate since the end of World War II. It is down 50 percent as a percent of GDP just since Bush’s huge $1.4 trillion fiscal 2009 deficit. And the deficit is projected to be stable for a decade.

“What exactly was the point of the post, other than painting a mustache”
I was thinking the same thing. I guess I misunderstood the RP Obama Derangement Syndrome of last year as I assumed the objective was to unseat the black guy in office. But he won. So Andy, are you just pounding sand?

The point of this post (for the challenged readers out there), is that Obama’s widely reported “charm offensive” is not only a failure, but was also a phony PR effort.
March 15th, 2013 at 5:47 pm
I understood and still understand Patrick, the opinion of RP(facts notwithstanding as always).
But the American people soundly told you your opinion, well, sucked. So other than being a sore losing pounder of sand, what specifically are you trying to say? And once you’ve found that answer you may want to ask yourself who really cares. But of coarse, you can as always bypass that option and conclude whatever you want to conclude from your own little corner in your own little chair where as always, you can simply be whatever you want to be.
In some ways Patrick, I actually admire the simplicity of the world in which you live.

Heh! I’ll answer this in two parts.
First, since the H2 channel was running an all-day America Unearthed marathon, I knew that my daily quota of ‘hits’ was a shoe-in. I could’ve taken Friday off.
Secondly, the purpose of the article was to incorporate the keywords Obama+fake+mustache, which was trending on some search engines. The real reason behind that trend was a comment Obama had made about how he would like to “hang out” in Israel, checking out the sites like a tourist wearing…, drum-roll please…, a fake mustache!
Needless to say, I exploited the phrase to bash Obama. The tourist story was too lame and the fact that his own staff admits that the ‘charm offensive’ was phony too juicy to pass up. So that was what was rattling around inside my skull yesterday morning.
Oh yeah, plus it gave me an opportunity to post a picture of Obama with a H*t!er-like mustache! Just be happy I did not include an arm-band, too!

Posting a picture of our President with a “Hitler Mustache”.
Classy as always.

Actually, Obama has more in common with H!tler than any other American president ever has.
Starting with surrounding himself with frumpy fat white dykes to creating a National Socialist Work Party.
He even had himself a black chick with a huge ass.

Ronward;
” So other than being a sore losing pounder of sand, what specifically are you trying to say?”
He already told you.
Ass hole.

“The time has come, America, to step up and ban these weapons,” Feinstein said. “The other very important part of this bill is to ban large capacity ammunition feeding devices — those that hold more than 10 rounds. We have federal regulations and state laws that prohibit hunting ducks with more than three rounds. And yet… (wait for it)…
“IT’S LEGAL TO HUNT HUMANS”…
with 15-round, 30-round, even 150-round magazines. Limiting magazine capacity is critical, because it is when a criminal, a drug dealer, a deranged individual has to pause to change magazines and reload that, the police or brave bystanders have the opportunity to take that individual down.” — Senator Dianne Feinstein, March 10, 2013

Well, Buzz,
You have to admit, at least I am honest.
